- Mrs. Leslie continues her unprecedented run of genderosity. A few day ago, she handed me the new Avon catalog, asking if I'd like to look at it. Sure, I said. The way it was said made me think that she might consider ordering something for me if I wanted. I would be unable to do that for myself, as her rep is a co-worker of hers. The lipsticks look intriguing, but I'll pass this time. Nice offer, though.
- She told me today that she intends to take the kids to a movie while I'm at my meeting Saturday, her method of getting them out of my way during any last minute preparations on the road to becoming Leslie. Very sweet and thoughtful, or maybe she fancies Johnny Depp in a big hat.
- Some of you may have noticed the comment from Tina on the previous post. She is going to give me first crack at the clothing she is unloading. How cool is that? I hope to be able to go see her before the meeting at Lisa's apartment, where I have transformed before my last two meetings. I intend to run this plan by Mrs. L, rather than sneak around behind her back. I believe she will allow it to happen. A real test, though, yes? Anyway, I say it a lot, but not near enough: I have some great friends.
- I will be picking up the package at my therapist's office on the way to work Wednesday. I would've gotten it today, but we had a classic "failure to communicate" situation. I intend to make one of my two new skirts the centerpiece of Saturday's outfit. Do I seem excited? I am.
Life is good.
Slow and steady wins the race, baby steps, etc. It sounds like you are making successful inroads with Mrs. Leslie's acceptance level, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteJust when you think you've hit a comfort zone brick wall, they surprise you, don't they!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear, and good for Mrs. L!
Leslie, this sounds so much better, and healthier, than you were writing towards the end of last year.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased for you.

Since life is good, I suggest you and Mrs. L spend some time here.

Leslie,
ReplyDeleteThere is no need to go through Mrs. L's Avon rep to purchase anything. Everything in that Avon catalog is available on-line at Avon.com. You can have it all delivered to your therapists office, just like your other purchases. It's very validating, to receive packages full of cosmetics, addressed to the real you. I love getting packages from Avon and Clinique.
